The adoption of this carton was facilitated by the integration of SIG’s Drinksplus technology in the SIG SmileSmall 24 Aseptic filling machine.
With the new products, ITO EN plans to strengthen its presence in the veggie juice space in its domestic market.
ITO EN brand manager Tetsuo Yamaguchi said: “Our new products provide our consumers with a refreshingly different drinking experience – rich and satisfying with the incorporation of real vegetable pieces.
“The novel packaging solution and the filling technology from SIG, that allows these inclusions to be added, enables our consumers to easily supplement their vegetable intake anytime and anywhere.”
